Before investing in new equipment, understand the untapped thermodynamic performance already contained within your existing assets.
YBG Global helps industrial organisations discover hidden operational value using Industrial Thermodynamic Intelligence™.
Across power, refining, steel, cement, LNG and process industries, capital cycles begin with a presumption: that additional performance requires additional equipment.
The presumption is rarely tested against the asset's own thermodynamic behaviour. Drift accumulates within design tolerance. Heat-rate curves normalise. Combustion, heat-transfer and radiative losses remain aggregated inside a single reported number.
An engineering discipline for reconstructing what an industrial asset is actually doing — thermally, radiatively and parasitically — against what it is capable of doing. Understanding precedes optimisation. Optimisation precedes investment.
Industrial assets do not fail as instruments — they drift as systems. Understanding requires reconstructing the full thermal state across the operating envelope, not reading isolated sensors.
Before capital is committed to new equipment, the existing asset must be understood in engineering terms — combustion completeness, heat-transfer effectiveness, radiative coupling, parasitic distribution.
Industrial Thermodynamic Intelligence™ is engineering interpretation, not machine-learning inference. Every conclusion is traceable to first-principles thermodynamics and to the operator's own historian.
ControlAlign™ is the platform that applies Industrial Thermodynamic Intelligence™ to the operator's own historian data. It reconstructs the thermal state of the asset, separates loss contributions deterministically, and expresses recoverable value in engineering and financial terms.
Read-only extraction from the DCS historian — no hardware, no shutdown, no controls modification.
Reference-state reconstruction across the unit's actual operating envelope using its own best demonstrated behaviour.
Deterministic separation of combustion, heat-transfer, radiative and parasitic loss contributions.
Ranked interventions by engineering feasibility, cycle time and economic yield — sequenced for board-level decision.
Recovered fuel value expressed in cost, EBITDA and emissions intensity, verified against subsequent operation.
Anonymised industrial examples of Industrial Thermodynamic Intelligence™ applied through ControlAlign™.
Historian review across two operating years separated combustion drift from heat-transfer effectiveness loss — surfacing recoverable margin previously masked by design-corrected heat-rate curves.
Deterministic interpretation of flame emissivity and radiative coupling identified progressive fouling signature and quantified fuel-intensity impact against best demonstrated operation.
Fleet-wide historian analysis attributed parasitic load fractions to compression, transfer and radiative losses — supporting a capital allocation review against new-equipment investment.
Where physical intervention is warranted, YBG Global directs the engagement into the appropriate engineering pathway within the group ecosystem. One such pathway is HydroHub™.
Delivered by YBG Industrial, HydroHub™ deploys oxyhydrogen generation at the combustion boundary to improve flame emissivity and radiative coupling. It is evaluated only after Industrial Thermodynamic Intelligence™ has identified radiative-coupling loss as the binding constraint.
